Until last week.
I took a rubber mallet to 'em! I released all my inner anxiety by flattening the bowls as best I could and then flattening the curve in the handle that appears just before you reach the bowl. Then, with some inexpensive metal stamping sets I made some simple plant identification markers!
I think they are pretty awesomely amazing. . .if I do say so myself!
It's actually harder than I thought it would be to do the stamping. The spoons still aren't completely flat and they jumped around as I pounded on the top of the letters.
This little upcycling endeavor also required a little more planning than I anticipated –
Seriously. . . you know what they say about lack of proper planning. . . My usual reaction to something like this would be to chuck the whole project in the trash and chalk it up to another failure. But, I looked at it again and it made me laugh. Out loud. At myself. How bad can that be? And what's more. . . I laugh every time I look at it. So it's staying!

You better lock your spoon drawer if I'm coming over. . . I got a lot of herbs to go!

You could sell those!
Of course you'd have to, like, spell the whole word &stuff....
:)
These are great. Correct spellin is highly overrated anyway! Best trick for stamping words is to start with the center letter in the center of the space and work your way left and right from there.
